Models virtually any building, HVAC system and
economic / utility scenario. Compare alternatives and
make decisions based on building life cycle costs.
View your project in three ways
...by task, by object (room, system, plant), by entry
Project Navigator view
Organizes entries by task to lead you through th
modeling process Displays the status of each modeling step Accommodates up to 4 alternatives per project
Project Tree view
Organizes all rooms, systems, and plants in a
hierarchical list Displays all information about a system, zone, or
room on 1 screen Supports cut, copy, and paste to save entry time
Component Tree view
Cross-sections the project by entry . see the
cooling set point for every room in the project on
screen Makes it easy to check and edit your work
Use Library/Template Editors
(a compainion to TRACE 700) to fine-tune your analysis
Templates
Contain thermostat set points, construction type,
internal loads, and other room-related design criteria Enter information about the building just once .
then apply it to as many rooms as you wish Make changes globally simply by changing the
template, or modify individual rooms Apply predefined templates or create new ones fo
use within and across projects
Libraries
Contain common design parameters for construction
materials, equipment, base utilities, weather, and
scheduling View part-load performance and other design deta Customize existing library members for even greater
accuracy
Task-oriented display guides you through the modeling
process...
Select weather information
Provides both design and typical weather data by
location Choose from 400 climate locations Import standard weather files for a full-year (8760)
analysis
Create rooms
Describe the construction, airflows, thermostat
settings, heat sources, and schedules by room Use templates to streamline entries for similar
rooms
Create airside systems
Choose from more than 30 methods of air distribu Add energy recovery, economizers, and dedicated
ventilation/makeup air
Assign rooms to systems
Create thermal zones and assign them to systems
using the drag-and-drop feature Determine airflows, coil loads, and fan sizes fo
each airside system
Create plants
Use drag-and-drop editing to create cooling and
heating plants Add demand limiting, free cooling, sequencing,
reset, and other options Include base utilities and miscellaneous accessories
that consume energy
Assign systems to plants
Quickly assign (or reassign) coil loads to equipment
using the drag-and-drop feature
Define economics
Describe initial and maintenance costs to compare
the economic impact of up to 4 alternative HVAC design Define unique utility rates for each type of energy
represented in the project Create alternatives based on different utility rates
to determine the effect of deregulation
